Dispose of Pressure-Treated Wood Correctly
I just read an article in one of my real estate newsletters dealing with pressure-treated wood. It was a warning. With fall approaching many of us living in Wisconsin like to enjoy our natural fireplaces or an outdoor bonfire. Also, we may have some pressure-treated wood left over from summer building projects. The last two sentences do not mix well. Burning of pressure-treated wood releases potentially harmful chemicals that mix with the smoke from the fire and can be inhaled. If you have pressure-treated wood scraps to dispose of, DO NO BURN THEM; find another way to take care of these scraps.
